History AwesomeMusic / JamProject

* Additional proof that JAM Project's members are made of win and awesome in their own right: Yoshiki Fukuyama's contribution to ''Manga/BusoRenkin''... "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo6GWfIQamA MAKKA NA CHIKAI!]]" It's even better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UjgahRsh9w live]].

* Masami Okui can hold her own among the rest of the boys: there's a reason why ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SeI4O31n5o "Rinbu - Revolution"]] is a staple at most anime song concerts. She's also the producer of the annual Animelo Summer Live concerts (the biggest anime theme song concert in Japan), which are basically an excuse to get as many of the songs on this page as possible together in one concert, short of having the universe collapsing into a singularity of awesome.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVwYqihHpcE "Miracle Upper ~ WL"]], from ''On-Tama!'' a collaboration with [[Music/MayNakabayashi May'n]], is an insanely awesome OP for a {{Moe}} + SliceOfLife series [[SoundtrackDissonance (which makes one wonder how it got there in the first place)]]. (See also: May'n's collaboration with Yoshiki Fukuyama for ''Anime/{{Macross7}}'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFGe6oc12rg "Totsugeki Love Heart"]].)

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_IVppjwpRg Omae no Tetsui ni Kugi wo Ute]] trans: Beat the Nail with your Hammer! The most HotBlooded song for the most Hot blooded character in VideoGame/BlazBlue SHISHIGAMI BANG!
** And yes, he's done several ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' songs starting with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOSX4suuau4 Opening]], Robot theme and Ending (under the Pen name of KAGE) of ''Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMQYKwELNUk Opening]], Movie opening, Robot theme and Ending of ''Series/HikariSentaiMaskman'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeeuF7DXSs0 Opening]], both robot themes (for both Jet Icarus and Jet Garuda) and Ending of Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman and Ending of ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzCynZDFHqs SKILL]] (''2nd VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'') is basically JAM's calling card, their "Bohemian Rhapsody". They play it as the end of the final encore of nigh every concert they do, and they go long. They engage in "MOTTO! MOTTO!!" call and response and engage in all kinds of hijinks to send the song into the 8, 9, 10 minute range. When a handful of songs were picked to re-record for a 15th anniversary album, "SKILL" was done in this style, and got a [[http://youtu.be/qCE4pHiGTXs music video]] that includes a similarly hyped crowd.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2b11FZ9vsA Hagane no Resistance]] (''2nd Super Robot Wars Z: Saisei Hen''). So epic, you'll be listening to it on repeat and never get tired of it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81RFSp6O0Sc Asu he no Houkou (The Scream Towards Tomorrow)]] (''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative''). For the [[UpdatedRerelease AA Version]], they outdid themselves with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx3VO_kr6lk NAME]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho7D5_IVueY Dragon]] (''New Manga/GetterRobo'') (very cool [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYvDK-Momv8 Acoustic]] version they did in concert).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzLbtiTtRY4 JAM ga Mottetta! Sailor Fuku.]] No, really!, They did a rendition of ''Anime/LuckyStar's'' Opening. Probably since Aya Hirano sang the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6AcH-jch1M Dragon Ball Z theme.]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ez1YQfdyEg Stormbringer]]", the opening of ''Anime/KotetsushinJeeg'' and the insert song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiFyKOE7how Dead Or Alive]]" from episode 12, that accompanies perhaps the most badass moment in the entire series. "T-t-t-TWO JEEGS!?"

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKGMiaXzobs Kanjite Knight]], the opening of ''Anime/ShinMazinger'' is actually by a band called "ULTIMATE LAZY", which is basically everyone from JAM Project plus several other legendary vocalists... because it was the only way to make the group more HotBlooded and awesome. Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKLbCNKEfVI The Guardian]] (or [=GARdian=]), the second OP. A song makes even boring old [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xqskiIehfk geometry seem awesome]]. "The Guardian" gains fifty million levels of awesome and badass when you realize that in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'', it is also the leitmotif of [[spoiler: Mazinger ZERO]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls7oOxUBbYQ Omoide wa Okkusenman]]. Yes, [[VideoGame/MegaMan THEY WENT THERE.]]
* On his own, Hironobu Kageyama tends to create EXTREMELY badass theme music for any anime he's involved with, part of the reason he's the current leader of JAM Project [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZoYsx9wyhs Heats]], the second opening from ''Shin Manga/GetterRobo - The World's Final Day'' is quite possibly one of the ones that puts him at number one in many fans' hearts.

** Ever wondered how mind-blowingly awesome the original ''Manga/GetterRobo'' theme would sound if Kageyama sung it? [[http://daitrombe.net/attachments/39863/Hironobu_Kageyama_-_Change_Getter_Robo_G_Version_2001.mp3 Wonder no more.]]

* Additional proof that JAM Project's members are made of win and awesome in their own right: Yoshiki Fukuyama's contribution to ''Manga/BusouRenkin''... "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo6GWfIQamA MAKKA NA CHIKAI!]]" It's even better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UjgahRsh9w live]].

* Although it's a live action {{Toku}} series, ''Series/{{GARO}}'''s opening [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M1iGThevbs Savior in the Dark]] is worth mentioning here. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjOW6hIvcuw The English subtitles of the song in question]] are every bit as HotBlooded as you can expect. Kageyama has said they always wanted to do a tokusatsu song, so when Garo came along, they worked hard to make it especially awesome.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzCynZDFHqs SKILL]] (''2nd VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha''). This song is basically JAM's calling card, their "Bohemian Rhapsody".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jm1I6rPjrs GONG]] (''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3''). This song is another staple for making a sing-along in a JAM Project concert. Moreover, it was once the go-to music for making badass-themed AMV; If something has even an ounce of bravery in it, Gong will do the rest of the video, easy. Here's a decade-old example from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Qa9AIxJhs Touhou Soccer]].

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jm1I6rPjrs GONG]] (''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'').

* Admittedly, most JAM Project members start their careers outside of the group with songs that were quite awesome by themselves. So how do they go about going one higher? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7uk_3IsJ4M By putting four of them together in one great medley of awesomeness.]] To wit: Hironobu Kageyama singing "Cha-La" from ''Anime/DragonballZ'', Yoshiki Fukuyama singing (and playing guitar!) "Planet Dance" from ''Anime/{{Macross7}}'', Hiroshi Kitadano singing "We Are" from ''OnePiece'' and Masaaki Endoh singing "Yuusha-oh Tanjou" from ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''. That sound is your cerebral cortex melting.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0eqN6F9Qxo THE EXCEEDER]] (''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'') is the final boss theme.

* Divisive the show may be, ''Anime/DaimidalerTheSoundRobot''[='=]s opening alone was considered to be the most hotblooded song of the Spring 2014 anime season with Masaaki Endoh's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjZ0To06pEU Kenzen Robo Daimidaler]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzWXWHkr2oA MAXON]], made as the OP to Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector. It begins with OminousLatinChanting, before going into an AMAZINGLY hot-blooded track jam-packed with guitars. Many say that this is probably what's playing when you're beating the snot out of enemies with your mech.

* "Ima Ga Sono Toki Da", the first theme to ''Manga/GetterRobo Armageddon'' by the damn-near legendary Ichiro Mizuki (co-founder of JAMProject). It has an old-school "Imperial Japanese Army March" that makes it one of the few songs that you can perform [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adSGHnlEgeU While dressed like M. Bison]]. See also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEmvwRlYDK0 theme from]] ''{{Anime/Mazinkaiser}}'', played whenever Kouji was about to deliver a massive beatdown.
